Things to do in winters in India, You Haven’t Done Before

When winter comes you head out west,

Missing the beauty of your home.

Our summers maybe Gold,

But it’s in winters new landscapes unfold;

Trees covered in snowy powder

 Icicles hanging by the wall

Smooth and clean and frosty white,
the world looks good enough to bite.

For seasons go and seasons come

But winters bring in a new adventure
of catching snowflakes on your tongue.

The best season to explore our lovely country, India is in winters. The time when not only kids have Christmas holidays but we have the New Year’s Eve too. A long winter break is on the cards and everyone starts planning an international holiday and but have you ever considered holidaying in winters in India? Gone are the days when winters meant you only had the options to head to a beach holiday in India. So before you do flight tickets booking, check below for experiences and places which you may not have tried but is worth to do in winters in India:


Celebrate Vishnu Festival in Shree Krishna Temple Courtyard: Things To Do In Winters In India


The Krishna temple in Guruvayur has a very mythological and historical background, having looted and burned down by invaders and enemy kings many times but it still stands there, rebuilt by a common man. The temple witnesses a huge crowd on First Day of Malayalam New Year to see Vishu Kani for a fortunate start of the New Year.

How to get there:

Fly from Delhi or Mumbai to Kochi and drive to Guruvayur

Which is an hour away from the airport.


 Explore The Hill Stations Of The West: Things To Do In Winters In India


Whenever we think of hill stations we think of the north of India. This time explore hill stations of the west which are as beautiful and less crowded. Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani, and Matheran are some beautiful places to explore. There may not be any snow but they are a perfect escape from the city life.

Panchagani

How to get there:

From Delhi;

You will have to choose from various Delhi to Mumbai flights or fly from Delhi to Pune from and then you can hire a bus or taxi to these hill stations. Only Matheran is a vehicle-free zone so you will have to cover this last 2.5 kms stretch on a horseback or walk it.

The Unexplored Gangtok 


Gangtok is one of the least explored part of India and the panorama of the snow peaks, monasteries and gandolas make it worth a visit in winters. From the offbeat Yak Safari, to visit to different passes to mountain biking, there is enough for the adventure seekers here as well.

How to get there:

From Mumbai;

There is no direct flight from Mumbai so you have to first fly from Mumbai to Delhi.

From Delhi;

You have to fly from Delhi to Badgdora in West Bengal. From here Gangtok is 124 kms away and you have to take a taxi to get there. The ride is very scenic. From Bagdogra, you can also take a TSA helicopter to get to Gangtok in just 20 minutes.

Seek The Thrill In Uttarakhand


Uttarakhand offer you many options from rafting and bungee jumping in Rishikesh to wildlife safari in Jim Corbett National Park to snow capped hill stations in Nainital and a less explored Mukteshwar.


Get high on Water Sports at Varkala: Things To Do In Winters In India


A new entrant in the tourist map of Kerala, having long stretches of white sandy beaches guarded by towering cliffs. The velvet sand, whooshing wind, crashing waves and the isolated location of the place makes it an ideal holiday destination in India. An array of Water Sports can be enjoyed here. Arabian Sea’s crystal clear water is a perfect option for swimming and scuba-diving.


 A Trip To Gujarat: Things To Do In Winters In India


The best time considered to be in a Jungle is winter. Gir Forest in Gujarat is the place where you can witness Lions in a natural habitat. The food, the folk dance, handicrafts, blend of varied customs and the 2000 years old Buddhist caves exhibits the serene lifestyle and beauty of Gujarat. Another noteworthy experience is Rann of Kutch festival during winters.

Skiing In Auli – The skiing paradise of the country: Things To Do In Winters In India


Did you know there are proper skiing schools in India? I wasn’t aware until recently that Auli is one such place in India. So why head to Austria or Switzerland when you can ski in this beautiful landscape?
